2% or 98% <br /><br /> This is strange...can you figure it out? <br /><br /> Are you the 2% or 98% of the population? <br /><br /> Follow the instructions! NO PEEKING AHEAD! <br /><br />* Do the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. <br /><br />* There's no trick or surprise. <br /><br /> * Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can! <br /> * Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you're done each of them ... really. <br /><br />* Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something). <br /><br /> Think of a number from 1 to 10 <br /><br /> Multiply that number by 9 <br /><br /> If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together <br /><br /> Now subtract 5 <br /><br /> Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with <br /><br /> (example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, etc.) <br /><br /> Think of a country that starts with that letter <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Remember the last letter of the name of that country <br /><br /> Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter <br /><br /> Remember the last letter in the name of that animal <br /><br /> Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter <br /> Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange? <br /><br />I told you this was FREAKY!! If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark when given this exercise. <br /><br />Taz

denmark kangaroo orange, because I picked 5 when picking number between 1 and 10 at high speed. good one :D <br /><br />Oh, i get it. It works because you multiply the number between 1 and 10 by 9. the sum of that number is always also 9. (9X2=18, 9X3=27, 9X4=36...).

Re: Mind Game

OK, my math was screwed up. 9x7 is not 56. I is an engineer. What percent of the people can't multiply? Probably the 2%.
